Midwestern Weather Disasters...

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those victims, rescuers and caregivers who are working in the weather-ravaged areas in the Midwest. We also recognize the valiant efforts of Midwestern public works personnel in who are dealing with the ravages of nature through tornadoes, storms, and now floodwaters.











Pictures of the destruction in Greensburg, Kansas, was unbelieveable. Fortunately, the early warning systems prevented further loss of life.

Storms with heavy rain and high winds also deluged other areas of Kansas, as well as Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa and Arkansas. The Missouri River and its tributaries are flooding their banks and impacting the levee systems. Roads are flooded and bridges are out. We hope and pray the municpal, county, state and federal officials are able to deal with the conditions quickly and effectively.
